Mikayla swung her chained daggers through a group of warriors that were fighting her other friends. She pulled them back into her hands and used the block stabs to her head and stomach. She tore them out of the warrior's body, spun around, and ripped two more warrior's throats out. Another warrior came at her, so Mikayla flipped a dagger into her underhand, and stabbed him through the top of his head. She heard someone else coming at her and used her free dagger to block the attack. Mikayla ripped the blade out of the warrior's head and slashed through the next one's throat. She fell to the floor and Mikayla stepped over her body, then stabbed the next warrior with both blades between her ribs. Mikayla tore her blades out and let the bleeding body flop to the floor with a wet splat.
"These guys are child's play!" She yelled as she continued cutting through them.
"Yeah, now that I found another sword, I'll take them down double time!" Kenneth yelled, using a carving knife in his left hand and his golden sword in the right.
He blocked a swing from a bat to his legs, then used his other weapon to block another warrior's spear. He jumped, spun, and while in the air, crescent kicked both warriors across the face. He spun around and used the golden sword to cut their feet off of the rest of their bodies. Another few warriors came at him, so Kenneth began to move backwards while spinning the blades in front of himself. He killed two of them with the spinning blades and seriously injured the rest which were coming at him. He stopped moving back and instead roundhouse kicked a warrior in the side of the knee. He fell down and Kenneth side kicked him in the nose. The warrior fell to the floor and Kenneth threw the knife to Nate.
"Thanks, man!" Nate called over as he jumped, spun, and caught it mid spin before landing back on the floor.
He blocked two attacks, then stabbed one warrior in both eyes, killing her before she could even understand the grizzly fate. He tore the blades out of her face and used the knife to block a stab to his neck. He spun around and swung a hook kick through three Athenian Warriors' jaws, sending them spiraling to the floor. He spun around and swung his blades through two more warriors' Achilles' tendons. They fell to the floor and Nate ducked underneath a swing from a long poled mace.
"Huh, ya know, I'd have assumed that the Athenian Warriors would actually fight more like Athena," He said as he got up and blocked another swing from the mace.
He swung the sword through the warrior's waist and cut him in half, then turned, and blocked a sword strike. He flipped the carving knife into his underhand and stabbed the warrior in the back of her knee. He turned around and slashed another warrior across the face, then swung his knife through the back of the warrior's neck.
"Right? It's like she didn't both training these guys!" Mikayla yelled over as she blocked two simultaneous attacks.
She swung one of her daggers through one of her attacker's neck, then she turned to the other one. She flipped her left blade into her underhand and stabbed it through the woman's chest. She heard someone else coming toward her, so she flipped her blade back up right in her hand. She turned and swung it into a sword that was coming from her head, then stabbed the warrior in the nose. She left the knife in the nose, leaving the warrior alive for the moment, as she jumped away from a trident stab. The son of Poseidon stabbed into his comrade and Mikayla stabbed him through the neck with both daggers.
"Huh, even a Poseidon son's useless," She muttered "Hey, Den! How are you fairing over there?"
"Be quiet!" He yelled back over at her.
He swung the pole of his scythe backwards to block a swing to his spine. He turned around and brought the tip of the blade down through the warrior's head. He dropped his fallen opponent to the floor without any respect and kicked the next one in the neck. She fell to her knees and Hayden grabbed her by the hair. He flipped the blade of his scythe into his underhand, then swung it through her head! He had cut her head in half vertically and tore the half with her face off of her body, leaving just the back half left. His body flopped to the floor and Hayden decided to do some more. Another group of Athenian Warriors charged at him, so he spun, and used another Cloud of Death on them. As they ran through it, they began to cough and choke before falling to the floor. He looked down at them and saw black viscous liquid coming out of their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.
"Wait, why are they? Oh, right! That's their organs," He remembered as he thought back to when Hades had personally taught him the attack.
He turned around and used the pole of the scythe to block another incoming attack. He used the blade to pinch his attacker's wrist against his forearm and stepped forward. He applied just enough pressure to break the elbow, then brought the blade of his scythe up, cutting through the wrist and removing his attacker's hand. Hayden decided to finish the attack by spinning around, and bringing the tip of his scythe's blade up through his chin.
"Aurgh! How many of these guys are there?" He asked as he turned to another one and plunged his scythe into her back.
"Seriously, it's like when you kill one, two more just show up in their place," Mikayla agreed as she stabbed through another warrior's spine, not killing him, but leaving him paralyzed.
"Then how about we hurry up and just finish them all off?" Marc asked as he threw his mace into one of their heads.
"Fine by me," Eden said as she created two hatchets and threw one of them into a fleeing warrior's back "I detest all this bloodshed and violence..." She threw the next axe into another deserter's back. "But I would hate for Athena to get word of this battle too soon even more." She looked around at the few remaining warriors left, then asked "Hey, has anyone seen Nate?"
"You, you're mine!" Nate yelled as he ran toward the commander, having lost the knife in some poor warrior's groin.
He ran past the rest of his friends and used a Bifrost burst to jump high into the air. He brought his blade behind his head in preparation for a powerful swing and the commander prepared for it.
Nate swung his blade down at her head, but she used the pole of her staff to block the attack. Nate landed and snarled, then spun around, and tried to attack her side. She used the staff to block his sword again, then stepped away from an upward swing. Nate stabbed at her again, but she stepped back, and raised her weapon. The commander thrust the butt at him twice, the first he blocked, and the second he just stepped back for.
"This is for mocking me before... take this!" She yelled as she launched a fireball from the tip of her weapon.
"This all ya got?" Nate asked as he used the sword to deflect the attack "'Cause I'm unimpressed."
He walked forward and flipped his blade into his underhand while swinging it at her throat. She leaned back for the attack, then dove to the side as he jumped, and stabbed down at her. She looked over at her soldiers, who were dropping like flies. Nate sensed another coming up behind him and calmly stabbed this new one through the chest without even looking. Hayden was fighting another Athenian Warrior when Marc came in, and swung the mace into his forehead. The warrior's head came off with a sickening crunch and snap sound. Hayden saw another one trying to get away, so he just swung the blade of his weapon through her head.
"So, still think your forces can beat us all?" Nate asked while pointing his blade down at the commander "At this point, I think it would be a more strategic play for you to just admit defeat."
"Accept defeat by your disgusting hands? Never."
"Fine by me."
He brought his sword back up and swung down at her head, but she used the pole of her staff to block the attack. She swung at him and he stepped back while giving her an opportunity to get up. She swung up at him again, but he just ducked under the attack. He got back up and she swung at his head, but he effortlessly grabbed her staff. Without thinking, he just yanked it out of her hand, and threw it away.
"That will have been your last mistake," He told her, then he ran his sword through her chest, lifted her up into the air, and tossed her to the side like a pile of trash.
He looked back at the rest of his friends deal with the rest of the group that had come for them. Hayden ripped through several Athenian Warriors with his scythe. Eden created vines around another, strangling her to death. Mikayla wasted no time and simply stabbed an Athenian Warrior through the heart. At this point the entire casino floor was fighting as people had forgotten what the fight was about. Anyone who didn't know one another or had even the slightest grudge devolved into savages. Beth was back up and used a spear to stab three of the last remaining warriors. She looked around for the final one and then threw the spear through her back. After that, the group got Gulltoppr, Kenneth grabbed their belongings, and they made their way out of the city.
